I’m not a fan because it reminds me of a Chrysler Pacifica. It could make an interesting middle name, though.

I like it. It's unique.

Pacifica is the name of the spoiled rich girl from Gravity Falls. In my mind it is associated exclusively with her. It’s also a car, and just sounds generally snobby as a name.
Marina, or even just Ocean would be prettier.

I kind of like but I would never use it. I live in the Pacific Northwest.

Are you in the U.S.? Because Pacifica makes me think of the mini van.I think Marina or something else would be better if you want an ocean-inspired name.

There are many better names to do with the ocean, such as Marina, Marisol, Miriam, Mary, Marnie etc. Also this sounds a bit like Pacifier.

It makes me think of the car model.

Oceana is better imo for sea related names, or Maris, Marisol, Mira, Marina, Marissa, Nerissa, Naia, Rosemary, Asherah, etc.

On an unrelated note, I just clicked on the Asherah link to learn its etymology, and found out it's pronounced ə-SHEER-ə, and not, as I assumed, ə-SHEHR-ə. Heartbroken 💔

I second your associations. Pacifica is a very pretty name and would make a good middle name, imo. I think it sounds a bit too much like the Pacific Ocean to be a first name, though (plus I can't think of any nicknames), so I wouldn't use it, but go ahead if it floats your boat. I really like it.*
